iPod went through wash, has a white screen.

Hi,

I put my daughter's iPod through the wash, and when discovered let it dry for a day, then tried to see if it would work. It turns on, but there is only a white screen with the apple logo. It's non-responsive and doesn't register on my Mac or iTunes when I plug it in. Is it fixable?

Placing it in rice won't work, as this was a few years ago. I took it to apple and they wanted to charge me $80 which I didn't have at the time. Just wondering if it's worth trying to fix it myself?

Thanks
